Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

"no."

Orianna shook her head and refused again.

This surprised Parker greatly.

Because in his memory, the other person had wanted to become a real wizard since childhood—of course, in Parker's eyes, this was more like a daydream.

Baron Hoover's eldest son, Daniel, was assessed as "second-class aptitude" and is still only a second-class wizard apprentice.

The path to becoming a wizard is not something that can be achieved simply by having talent.

It also requires substantial financial and resource support.

Even with the combined resources of his entire family, Lord Hoover could barely afford to support Daniel.

How could Orianna possibly succeed?

Although Baron Hoover did promise to sponsor Oriana's studies at the wizarding school.

But this doesn't mean the funding won't stop in the future.

Of course, by then, everything would have been settled...

Seeing Orianna refuse again, Parker's face gradually darkened.

He remained silent for a long while:

"I know this is hard to accept... Believe me, I'm very reluctant to let it go, but this is truly the best way to help the family get through this difficult time."

Do you have any other options?

Perhaps before long, the bandit gang that killed Uncle Cade will join forces with other armed groups to break into the castle!

"The entire family will be wiped out!"

Orianna had her head slightly lowered and her lips pursed, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Parker didn't say anything more, just said, "Think about it again," and turned to leave.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Orianna felt as if all her strength had been suddenly drained away.

At this moment, what filled her heart was not resentment towards Parker.

Instead, it was deep self-blame and guilt...

"I'm sorry, Uncle Cade... I failed to protect the family."

A mist unconsciously rose in Oriana's large eyes.

She knew that Parker's words actually made some sense.

At least based on the current situation, the family has absolutely no ability to protect its existing territory...

Just as the other party said, once they encountered attacks from surrounding armed groups or even monsters, and they did not have enough power to protect their people, it caused extremely serious consequences.

Then the Roland family's title would also be revoked and then distributed to other nobles.

  

By then, the family wouldn't be able to obtain even a single gold shield...

What should I do?

Should we really sell the family to Baron Hoover as Parker suggested?

Oriana felt nauseous at the thought of Baron Hoover, the fat, greasy man who always stared at her with lecherous eyes.

Sponsoring himself to study at a wizarding school?

Orianna wouldn't expect such a thing.

She knew very well that a family that lost its dignity and territory would never have a good end.

However, just as Oriana was feeling somewhat desperate, she suddenly felt someone pat her on the shoulder.

She turned her head and saw Gordon, hidden in a black robe, standing behind her, gazing intently in the direction Parker had left.

"Lord Ancestor?"

With Gordon's arrival, Orianna immediately felt reassured, and eagerly recounted everything that had just happened...

"You don't need to worry about this; I'll handle it for you."

Now that you have just completed your first "qi-drawing" exercise, this is the most crucial moment.

You should focus your time and energy on what's truly important.

Gordon looked at Oriana, whose face was full of worry, and said calmly.

"But……"

Orianna wanted to say something more.

But when she looked up at this ancestor who had traveled through a thousand years, she swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.

yes……

The opponent is a true legendary knight!

The founding hero of the Kingdom of Rune!

A hero forged in blood and fire!

How could such a small matter be unmanageable?

Thinking of this, Oriana immediately felt relieved.

However, what she didn't know was that Gordon's mood was not as calm as it appeared.

On the contrary, Gordon was extremely excited at this moment.

He stared in the direction Parker had gone, the fire of his soul flickering fiercely in his deep-set eyes:

That's right, this is it!

"Title transfer"...

Gordon was originally troubled about how to quickly develop his family so that he could regain his former strength as soon as possible.

But unexpectedly, the young knight named Parker brought inspiration at this moment.

Based on the information he has gathered during this period:

After more than a thousand years of development, the power system of the Kingdom of Rune has become very complete, even solidified.

For the vast majority of nobles, the only way to expand their territory was through war, marriage, or inheritance.

For the Roland family, marriage alliances and inheritance were out of the question.

And to accumulate merit through war...

This is also not realistic.

After all, large-scale wars are now extremely rare among the countries on the mainland.

Moreover, with the discovery of the method of "plane travel" by wizards more than two hundred years ago, the whole world entered the era of "plane expansion".

Whether they are nobles, wealthy families, clergy, or wizarding groups, they all prefer to travel to other planes to obtain resources rather than fight among themselves.

For the Roland family at this time, it was almost impossible to achieve a "redistribution of power" by participating in the interdimensional war.

This requires at least several truly "strong" individuals from the family, or a large and high-quality army.

But this requires an extremely long period of time to accumulate...

If a family is not powerful enough, it cannot expand into new dimensions or participate in the distribution of power.

Without being able to participate in the distribution of power, Gordon was unable to accumulate merits and obtain higher titles and more territory.

Therefore, it is impossible to quickly obtain rewards through the "Clan System"...

This is an endless loop.

Therefore, Gordon's original plan was to cultivate family members over two or three generations, so that the family would gradually become stronger.

After all, for cultivators, a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people is their greatest advantage.

In his previous life, Gordon also used this method to gradually build up a family of cultivators.

Although it's slow, it's reliable.

However, Parker's words gave Gordon a brilliant idea, and also changed his original plan:

Since Baron Hoover intends to use the rule of "title transfer" to force the Roland family to relinquish their territory.

Then why can't I use the same method?

This method allows the Roland family to rapidly expand their territory and acquire vast resources in the early stages, thereby increasing their "family rating level," granting them more rewards, and quickly restoring their cultivation.

Once he recovers his cultivation, he will be able to help his family and family members grow stronger quickly, thus creating a positive cycle...

Of course, as the young prospective knight named Parker said, "title transfer" requires certain conditions.

However, Gordon was not worried.

Because of his dear neighbor...

He is personally conducting a lesson.
